Review

Through this story, I want to tell the tragedy of tens of millions of African debtors who are willing to go to the North despite all the danger. Caught in the vortex of a vicious circle which they can not stop, they live with the downward spiral. My desire is to tell the daily lives of these people whose lives are helpless between the reality and the dream.
